Chemical Structure

D-xylose CAS 31178-70-8 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

D-xylose (CAS 31178-70-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H10O5 and a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of D-xylose (C5H10O5) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
